thought that he had been sufficiently pun
lshed. He denied the main points in the
prosecutors charge and declared that she
is the keeper OF "a dissipated house."
She had a witness to corrObOrate her
story, and as the defendant could not sub
stantiate his he was given the choice be-
tween thirty days and $40.

johnson stole $i1 from his house at Mon
teith station. The woman stated en-
phatlcally that she did not. Both are
darkys. Jackson charged Martha with

get witnesses to prove that she did not
steal the money, and her case was con-
tinued for one week.
James Williams, John Green and Moses
Clark, three negro boys, were charged
with stealing chickens from Mrs, Kate
Brown. AS one of the important wit
nesses was sick the case was postponed
until next Monday.
